We all know that when a person's planet conjuncts another's ascendant the energy of the planet is keenly felt. I think that if a person's south node is conjunct a planet in their natal chart and THAT CONJUNCTION conjuncts the ascendant of someone it may switch who feels the energy of the planet. For example:

If Bob's mars conjuncts Sally's ascendant it's generally the mars person (bob) that feels most attracted to the ascendant person (Sally). BUT what if bob also has his south node conjunct his mars. That means that his south Node AND his mars are conjunct Sally's ascendant. The energy of the South Node drain's bob's mars energy so it makes it so that it is Sally that is more attracted to Bob instead.

Same with any other planet. Jupiter conj asc = The Jupiter person wants to teach, support and make happy the ascendant person.... But if the Jupiter person has South Node next to their Jupiter, it will be the ascendant person that wants to provide most of the happiness and support.

This would make sense because the south node tends to drain the energy of whatever planet it's next to... So the native with a planet conjunct the SN may have trouble expressing the planet and would therefore project that energy onto a partner who would then be the one to show the energy instead.

So if we look at that in other places in the chart overlays we can apply it further?

In my chart the only planet conjunct my South Node is Saturn (fabulous haha!) and I've never dated anyone whose Ascendant is conjunct this point. Or mostly any planets, so no personal experience yet to report.

I love the ideas though. :-) Let's develop!!

Yes that's it. I already knew that the south node has a imploding affect on a planet whereas the North Node has an EXploding affect. Someone with natal Mars conjunct NN will tend towards being aggressive. They get angry easily and it SHOWS right away. But Someone with natal Mars conjunct SN tends more towards Passive-aggressiveness. Where they get angry easily, but it doesn't show at all at first. They let it smolder inside them for a lot longer.

So now I"m adding that to synastry with someone's ascendant. (I'm using mars as an example because it's such a loud planet that it's easier to see it's affects sooner). It's often agreed that when someone's mars is conjunct someone else's ascendant, the Mars person is mostly the one that is sexually attracted to the ascendant. But if the mars person has their SN conj their mars, this sexual energy is imploded rather than exploded... and therefore projects instead onto the ascendant person! Meaning the ascendant person is the one that ends up more aggressively pursuing the Mars person because the mars person can't expel the energy as well due to the SN.

I"m just going to add a little something stated in Vedic here: "The native with SN conj mars in their natal chart has trouble expressing their sexuality and their anger. When they DO express their sexuality, they become unsatisfied with it- They get bored easily and go for other conquests. They tend to be passive aggressive and when they do express their anger they often let go of their anger right away as if nothing happened. This is because the SN is warping Mars's energy so that it cannot express itself efficiently."

I'm all for development of new theories though, I'll keep an eye on this string! ;-)

Personal experience- and it's also the opinion of many professional astrologers. "Draining" isn't necessarily a bad thing. Depends on the case.

You say about personal experience. You see, sometimes we can point our finger where we shouldn't. If you believe there's something wrong with your planet (or rather, the part of you it represents), I'd investigate its hard aspects again I were you.
